Most of Jim Corbett's books contain collections of stories that recount adventures tracking and shooting man-eaters in the Indian Himalaya. An exciting narrative of a leopard that spread terror through five hundred square miles of the hills of the United Provinces, The Man-eating Leopard of Rudraprayag also takes a detailed look at life in the Garhwal region of India. The Man Eating Leopard of Rudraprayag is often considered the most exciting of all Corbett's jungle tales. He gives a carefully-detailed account of a notorious leopard that terrorized life in the hills of the colonial United Provinces. This story represents Corbett's most sustained and unique effort. The Man-eating Leopard of Rudraprayag is also an ode to the people who inhabit the hills and the resilience with which they face the hardships that assail them.

At first glance leopards are not as fearsome as tigers. They do not possess the same brutal strength and size as tigers but that is no reason to underestimate their ferocity and success as predators. And when they take to man-eating as Jim Corbett points out they are often as deadly as tigers. In his best-selling book The Man-eating Leopard of Rudraprayag he wrote about a leopard which killed one hundred and twenty-five people in what is now Uttarakhand state. Remarkably the Rudraprayag leopard wasn't the deadliest leopard that Corbett hunted. That killer was the Panar man-eater which killed four hundred people in Almora district in Uttarakhand before it was finally dispatched. The Hour of the Leopard brings together for the first time all the stories Corbett wrote about hunting leopards including an account of the first leopard he ever shot as well as his stories about dispatching the man-eaters of Panar and Rudraprayag. The collection is introduced by a piece in which the author spells out the differences between man-eating leopards and tigers.
